He s got a new album out called The Three Pickers, and it features Skaggs playing along with Earl Scruggs and Doc Watson (also available on DVD). Skaggs started performing as a young child. He was considered a prodigy. His first number one single was "Crying My Heart Out Over You" in 1981, and he continued to have a string of hits throughout the eighties.

Skaggs has won many Grammy and Country Music Association awards.
